Ergonomic Computer Chairs

Ergonomics is the applied study of equipment design, usually in the workplace, which is intended to increase productivity by minimizing discomfort. In recent years, ergonomics has been shown to reduce chronic injuries in the work environment. As people vary in shape and size, proper ergonomic positioning must be adjusted for each individual. With proper ergonomics, an individual should be able to work naturally, without contorting the body into any uncomfortable or fatiguing positions.

Ergonomic computer chairs allow for multiple adjustments to accommodate the most comfortable and supportive positions. While some chairs offer more advanced ergonomic features, all contemporary computer chairs should include at least some ergonomic options. All computer chairs should feature adjustable seat height so the individual can place their feet firmly on the floor. Your legs should never dangle above the floor, and your knees should never be bent at an angle of more than 90 degrees.

Ergonomic computer chairs also feature adjustable armrests, allowing stress on the shoulders and arms to be reduced. If armrests are too high, the forearms can be aggravated, while low armrests can encourage slouching or leaning. Adjustable armrests allow for proper positioning. You can also move the armrests completely out of the way should you need more freedom of movement.
